The speakers make up the rest of the 78mm width but according to Chris Wright, Sony Centre manager in Horsham, it is as powerful as has having a separate sound bar.

He said: “It hangs like a picture frame but sounds like a home cinema.

“For many years TVs have been stagnant. They have not really moved this thing blows them out of the water.

“The sound quality is out of this world and the picture is phenomenal.”

Motoi Kawamura, Head of TV Marketing and Product Planning, Sony Europe, said: “Since the product reveal at CES in January this year we have received amazing feedback praising BRAVIA A1 OLED’s innovative combination of industry-leading picture quality with the ingenious Acoustic Surface sound design.

“We are really excited to bring BRAVIA A1 OLED to European customers this May.”

The television is ready to pre-order and will cost between £3,500 and £5,000 depending on size.
